SPAIN INTERESTED IN VOLSTEAD LAW

Wine Growers Hoping for Change Permitting Strong Sherry. By United Press MADRID, June s.—Spain’s wine producers are not being misled about the possibility of the repeal of the eighteenth amendment in the United States. But they hope that if the Volstead act ever is changed the alcoholic content of wines will be made high enough to permit exportation of their greatest wine—sherry. Sherry tests about 17 per cent alcohol. While that may seem high even to those who advocate light, wines and beers the Spanish wine interests point out that it is relatively low, for brandies and cognacs test about 40 per cent, while whisky tests about 60 per cent. Should the United States permit with a content of 4 per cent 'alcohol there would be little benefit to Spain. Spanish table wines test about 12 per cent, and its so-called "generous” wines are about 17 per cent. There is no prospect of any concerted drive by Spanish liquor interests in lobbying for modification of the Volstead act, or for obtaining business in case it should be modified, but individually they are following the American situation vary closely. All the big firms, of course, have important branch offices in Cuba, which can serve as the source of supply to the United States—if occasion should ever arise.
